can't create user output file ...

Hi All,

I am using Debian sarge and ISPconfig 2.2.11. I have a problem configuring the mailsystem. For a reason i want to use the mbox format. I have installed postfix, procmail, sasl and popa3d. When i send an email FROM ISPconfig account everything runs smoothly but unfortunately when i try to sent a mail TO ISPconfig user i get the following error in maillog:

(can't create user output file. Command output: find: /var/mail/probe1234: Permission denied procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/probe1234.lock" procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/probe1234" )

The webmail is also not working - it returns always: Wrong user/pass

.procmail of user tester123:

Hi Till,

my hdd is partitioned only in 2 parts: / and /boot, the output of the df command:

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2 75G 1.6G 70G 3% /
tmpfs 245M 0 245M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 47M 15M 30M 34% /boot


I have experimented with my test user and changed the rights of /var/mail/probe1234: chmod -R 777 probe1234, but the same error appears:

can't create user output file. Command output:
find: /var/mail/probe1234: Permission denied procmail: Lock failure on
"/var/mail/probe1234.lock" procmail: Error while writing to
"/var/mail/probe1234"


Thank you...

 

What's the output of

Code:

repquota|grep probe1234

?
